It has been a terrible week, in Craig’s very educational opinion. Firstly, he woke up in a cave covered in dust, and he doesn’t really like dust. Secondly, he can’t remember when Equestrian became so advanced. So many cities! Thirdly, the lands are so different, he can barely tell his way around. Fourthly, critters from every forest he’s wandered keep jumping him. Fifthly, nearly everypony that sees him either faint, stare, or just run away screaming; it’s actually kind of amusing. It’s like they’ve never seen an Alicorn before, or is there something on his face? Let him just... Sixthly, everypony he’s been able to eavesdrop on seems like they speak Ponish but... don’t? Seventhly, why are Marks called ‘Cutie Marks’ now? When did this happen? When he gets back to his throne, he will fix this insulting problem. No pride is involved or anything...

Lastly, and the worst, his own daughters don’t even remember him! This is something he must repair. “How?” you ask? Why, snuggling of course!

Goodness! Thank you guys so much for the support! Love you all!

I had this neat idea that I am certain others had that I want to share! Basically, as you can already tell, Craig McCracken in Equestria, but a very confused version of him and with a story to tell. I really love this old man and the shows he has made, along with the cast for each show, but I guess I’m being biased, since most of his creations were most of my childhood. I feel I at least know or predict him enough to be comfortable with dialogue and personality traits in this Pony character I’ve imagined. Most of the time, he is confused but with purpose; I feel it's the cutest side of him. I can say with certainty that it will not be perfect, nothing is, and I will not hit the right notes most of the time, but I have you guys here! Feel free to add constructive criticism, I’ll appreciate every last bit! If you can’t, that’s alright, just reading my crazy stuff is more than enough. Thank you!

My ‘Old Ponish’ isn’t the best, but I hope you enjoy! Oh, and remember, just because the show has ended, doesn’t mean its “ended”. The fandom will live for a very long time.

Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.

But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.

Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?

Huge thanks to lordelliott for helping me proofread and edit.

This story is a sequel to Stranger in the Forest

These are side stories, unseen happenings and what ifs for the main story, Stranger in the Forest.

I'll be putting stuff here that doesn't quite have a place in the main story, including Fluttershy and Applejack related stuff. Reading the main story will give you better understanding what's going on with certain chapters, so it is advisable. This won't be updated regularly, rather only when there is a suitable chapter for it.

Long ago, a terrible monster known as Ninetails unleashed a reign of destruction upon a distant land before being defeated by holy priests. While helping the land recover and purifying monsters, a fox they had in their care spawned a second tail. Despite knowing the risks, the priests believed she could be a force for good and began to train her in the ways of healing and purification. 

However, not long after gaining her third tail, word of her existence began to spread, causing her caretakers to fear for her life. They decided to send her to a distant land, a land of peace, harmony, and friendship. There, Princess Celestia found her and, interested in her ability to purify monsters, took the three-tailed fox in with the hopes she could save her fallen sister.

"Will she find acceptance and happiness among ponies? Will she save Luna? One thing is certain, her race's heritage and instincts won’t make it easy."

This story starts 50 years before Nightmare Moon Return. Humans make appearance only in prologue and they do not play any significant role later in the story. This is not pokemon in Equestria, main character is a Kitsune. Warning, bleeding, religious themes and fluff is to be expected.

Diablo Crossover.

The Archangel of Justice destroyed the Worldstone to spare Humanity the corruption Baal infected it with. The force of its death knell shatters Mount Arreat and sends Tyrael hurtling across the endless planes of reality. He falls upon a world untouched by Angel or Demon, far from the sight of the High Heavens. So far, in fact, that he fears he will not be reborn from the Crystal Arch.

Wounded and near death, hope appears in the form of two strange creatures bearing the power of night and day.

Tyrael now faces a time of recovery as his power slowly heals within a body fashioned for him by his saviours. Justice Incarnate tastes for the first time the life of a mortal, and it is a strange, confusing experience .He has been left in the care of one Twilight Sparkle to learn of this world.

After all, where better to find peace and harmony than Ponyville?

Act I - The Root of Evil
Act II - ????????
Act III - ???????
Act IV - ???????

Twilight Sparkle finally achieved her destiny. She was now a Princess of Equestria, and needless to say her friends were surprised. When a second, unicorn Twilight Sparkle appeared alongside the new alicorn, even Princess Celestia was shocked. Now the Elements of Harmony must help the pony make friends and learn magic, as well as get used to her surprising un-Twilightness.

Meanwhile, a 17 year old high schooler with nothing to do during summer hits his head and wakes up in Equestria. He must now learn how to live his new life as Twilight Sparkle's "twin sister" and survive in a town where a catastrophe happens every Tuesday or so.

July 18, 2016: I got Featured! This is awesome!
August 1, 2017: Another Feature!

I used to be a human, but then I pissed off a wizard. Now I'm stuck in "Ponyville", in a land called "Equestria", and with no apparent way back home. I'm also pretty sure that I've just replaced somepony. I'd rather not have to answer any tricky questions, so I'm better off trying to be this unicorn whose name has been forced onto me.

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I'm not a pony.

[Brybrythesciguy is working on a cool audiobook of this story right HERE. The characters' voices are even simulated with an AI! I definitely recommend giving it a listen!]

This story is a sequel to Wild Card

Back by popular demand, Ace continues his misadventures across Equestria and surrounding lands. Along the way he must deal with Black Brew Smugglers, the Equestrian authorities, an old foe returning and his quickly dwindling supply of tobacco. At the end of the day though, there remains only two important questions:
Can he get away with this?
and
How much fun can he have whilst doing so?

Part of the Chess Game of the Gods universe

Ragar the Ageless has seen many things in his non-life. He has seen fields of cotton candy, the wails of the soon-to-be-dead chanting in chorus. Once he even saw a unicorn. Well, there are a lot of those in Equestria, so maybe that one was less noteworthy. But still, he's seen a lot. Now he wants others to see him in all his glorious evil. The only issue is he's not so good at it.

** EDIT **

Well crap, featured with every chapter. I feel all special and stuff. So let me give you all some love. You're all wonderful people, trees or whatever internet capable folks have been reading.

Dang, look at all those likes. I'm feeling the love. Thank all of you for enjoying my wonderful trip through insane necromancy.

Many Thanks to Locke_Jaw for his wonderful artwork that is my new cover.
